Roadside Wreath-Take 1

I was driving through town the other day and just so happened onto a street that it was "that time of the month", monthly garbage pick-up time that is. I noticed one house in particular that had quite a large pile at the curb. As I passed, I slowed down and low and behold they were throwing out some grapevine wreaths. I turned my car around and snatched em right up.

There were 3 wreaths in all!

I took the smallest wreath and put a bowl in the middle with some nuts, acorns and a candle in the middle and I now have myself a new centerpiece. Here's the rundown on what this cost: wreath-roadside-free, bowl-had it-free, nuts-had em-free, acorns-out of the yard-free, candle-had it-free, ribbon-had it-free. So that's a grand total of FREE!! That's one 4 letter word I love to hear!!

I love that you picked these up! When I was a kid (and my mom would be horrified by me telling this) we used to have "garbage picking Sunday." We would drive around town and find the most WONDERFUL treasures! Glad to see I'm not the only one who would do this ;)
